Title: Best Teamplay Clans
Post by: Tovi on August 02, 2012, 07:26:44 pm
As I don't care who is the last hit killer, I'd like to promote the best teamplay.

I really enjoy to play with Mamluks because we have a good cohesion. We can hold a good shieldwall of 5 or 6 hoplites and charge together, protecting each other.  I rarely see such coordination in other clans.

KUTT on NA siege.
NH on NA Battle.

For KUTT, no one full plate str crutches the way they can in siege. They actually actively defend the important spots in a map, the flag 80% of the time, and honestly cant be moved. (They keep that 5x all night)
For NH, in battle the only teamplay competition we have is Hoplites who are too new to get an actual sense of cohesion. Other than that, I rarely see a group of players actually helping each other. Its usually a competition on who gets the kill first and then they go their separate ways.

As for KUTT, we play siege almost exclusively. Our extensive use of weapon racks, healing tents, siege shields, and clever positioning at vital chokepoints render the enemy team incapable of captu-AHH FUCK IT YES WE WIN BECAUSE WE ALL STACK STRENGTH AND PLATE CRUTCH!

I dont know about EU but on NA its definitly the hoplites. There arent really other team play clans around that i see. NH and Kutt occasionally work together, but when they do its more of just running around in a mob like any other clan does, hoplites actually fight in formation and use unit tactics. But if i had to make an obvservation looking at any Team play clan it seems teamwork is bad because they are for the most part terrible.

Post by: Kelugarn on August 02, 2012, 08:29:50 pm
KUTT used to roll over NA_1 with team work, plate, and pikes. Now they just moved to siege. NH used to be good too, but now they're just not as effective as they used to be.

Post by: MrShine on August 02, 2012, 08:39:44 pm
Yeah I think the question is how does one define "best teamplay clan".  If we're talking the most disciplined, then probably Hoplites or NH.  If we're talking the most effective I'd say KUTT, but as mentioned that's mostly a product of lots armor, strength, and long pointy things.

But lets be honest - as cool as it looks sometimes to see shieldwalls and formations, they rarely are effective.   I think working with 1 or 2 other people is probably the max you want to have, provided you're sticking with your team.  All you need is one other person who you are in-tune with to single-out enemies, and that will provide you the most mobility in battle while reducing the amount of teamhit clutter.

Like two of our members full strength plate crutch. I wear padded cloth or lamellar most of the time and I'm balanced build. We also are best teamplay clan when we do battle, which isn't often.

I guess byz has to be mentioned too but they haven't really been active in big numbers for quite a while. DenBitre, deserters and SB also have pretty nice teamwork when they have enough guys online.

Lolol, I remember ZULU and SWAT.

I also remember a gang of suspiciously dark skinned characters running around a while ago, speaking Hoodish. They were naked, wielding knives and daggers, and spoke of stealing people's wallets and running from the cops. I forget their names, though I think I remember a Shanika or two. The teamwork was actually quite good. I cried of laughter (I might be racist??!).

Thanks those of you who recognize our clan's Teamplay tactics. I personally really appreciate it because that's one of the largest things we pride ourselves on.

Though I can say I am guilty most generations of Strength/Armor Crutching, I can say that probably only half of our members fighting on any given server do this--but when your clan emphasizes on Siege and Melee, the more survivability we have, the better we stand to assist our team. We really don't use a whole lot of range, but I would love to incorporate that more into our teamplay.


NH, I admire their uniform appearance and for the most part they do stick together. They just need more "heavy-hitters" in their groups to power out some of their opponents.
Hoplites, they're on the right track. Their tactics are great, and formations look really neat, but like others have said sometimes these formations don't do great. They're great for appearance, but with game mechanics they don't hold very well.
Occitan is good, but they're really rare (at least a couple months ago) to see.



Once again, thanks for the recognition. Really appreciated.

Kutt used to have pretty fucking intricate teamwork back when I piked for like 16 generations straight.  I just had layers of players covering specific people and going after specific targets.  Once I stopped piking, I got way too tired yelling at people to stay on target and to stay with their support.

Nowadays it is mostly about resource allocation.  Some of these more challenging siege maps are ALL about keeping small crews of guys at all of the critical locations, it takes a lot more communication and organization than most people realize.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier, cheaper,  and satisfying to just run out on your own setting up 1v1's or 1v2's? 

Personally I do not see how you can get a rush when you instruct 3 heavy armored plate str crutchers to 3v1 someone in equipment similiar to something I wear.

You're really showing your complete lack of understanding of an OBJECTIVE based game mode.  Defend the objective by holding key positions, chokepoints and engaging enemies where you have the advantage. 

How do you enjoy running off on your own and dying to 1 hit from a 2h'er or horse charge? How is that enjoyable being a lone wolf who doesnt ever affect the outcome of a match?

Post by: Uumdi on August 03, 2012, 10:11:44 am
To steer back on track here, there's been a fair deal of teamwork from every major clan, but we see people stick to a few battle buddies.


I'd definitely like to see some restored consciousness in the mod.  I'll be the first to admit I've been in autopilot for a long time, and people are burning out a little.  Let's try to pump some vigor into what we do.  In our prime, we actually had phenominal infantry teamplay, and some of the best support, but we were also notorious for placing individual skill over formation I suppose. 

There was always a method to the madness, but I definitely remember that when we were strongest we were as good teamplayers as any - but absolutely, if you look now, you'll see San being a boss, a couple of us tryin' archery, me mouthing off dumb crap in chat, a few others playing respectably, and a few others being disgruntled and GTXting in 10 minutes. 

Let ourselves go, but with strat 4 potentially coming soon and a lack of fulfillment, I'd like to steer back into teamplay and getting the most out of the mod again.  That's always what made it fun - seeing what everyone's capable of when they have a strong team to fall back on.  I'm not merely talking about our clan, but everyone on the mod, you know?  We all kind of need to restore that youthful exuberance, and its nice to see people who play like NH and especially Hoplite now, bless their hearts.

I just like the challenge of winning.  As I said, on some of the more intricate siege maps, it is incredibly challenging and fun to win, especially on defense.  I don't really enjoy battle, but it can occasionally be fun when you're trying to fend of marauding cavalry and singleton infantry coming out of the woodwork everywhere.  I've told you before, if horsebumps wouldn't kill me in two to three hits, I'd love nothing more than to run a marauder ultralight shielder in battle. 

Nowadays we make insane money just playing alts.  Our whole core group has assassin alts (the ballmeats) that are little money machines.  My original multi-million gold fortune, though, stemmed from piking in light armor, which I did for the majority of my earlier gens.
